I love Fall. It is THE BEST time of the year, by far. Pumpkins, falling leaves, cooler temperatures, and pumpkin pie spice make it my favorite! I made these Air Fryer Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year! (sorry, Christmas fans!)
Air Fryer Pop Tarts are super simple to make. Get the recipe for my strawberry air fryer pop tarts and nutella pop tarts, too! And, well, since they are made with pie crust, you could totally call them pumpkin hand pies, too, but well, I don’t. It’s your right though, if that’s what you prefer! I just don’t like the word “hand” in anything I eat, really. Speaking of…hand spun milkshakes. Does that gross anyone else out but me?
On with the pies…the air fryer cooks these up super quick, so you can enjoy them for a busy morning breakfast or a snack OR a dessert. Just dollop some whipped cream or ice cream on top, and it’s like Thanksgiving at your house, any time of the year!
The hardest part of the recipe is rolling out the pie crust and cutting circles (or other shapes) out of the dough. And really, that’s not hard at all!
Dollop some delicious pumpkin puree, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice mixture on top of each dough circle and the hard work is done!
Add the top circle, crease the edges, cook in your air fryer, and breakfast is served!
These Air Fryer Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts are SO good! Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- ½ cup canned pumpkin puree
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ⅛ cup brown sugar
- whipped cream
Instructions
- Using a Mason jar ring, cut 6-8 circles out of a flattened pie crust.
- In a bowl, mix pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar.
- Dollop about 1-2 tablespoon of pumpkin mixture on top of one of the circles of dough and spread about ¼" from the sides.
- Using a basting brush, baste water on the dough that is not covered with pumpkin mixture.
- Place another circle on top.
- Using a grapefruit spoon or fork, press top and bottom circles together around the edges.
- Place pop tarts in the air fryer in one layer, careful that they are not touching.
- Spray the top of the pop tarts if you want them to crisp a little more, but it’s totally not necessarily.
- Cook 6-8 minutes on 370 degrees, checking every minute after 5 minutes for desired doneness.
- Eat with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice sprinkled on top!
